Attention immediately moved on from the Prada Cup to the battle for the Auld Mug following Luna Rossa' 7-1 victory over Ineos Team UK.
Here's all the aftermath from the Prada Cup final.
New Zealand fans will probably experience a few nerves early on in the America's Cup showdown against Luna Rossa.
Team New Zealand will be race rusty, no doubt about it, and a few nerves will creep in during the early races if, as is possible, a few losses occur, writes AUT's sailing professor Mark Orams.
The pundits are worried about Team New Zealand's lack of racing going into the America's Cup, but skipper Peter Burling says it is actually an advantage.
Burling says TNZ's ability to push the design elements of their boat Te Rehutai will prove crucial in the America's Cup match race against Luna Rossa.
Team New Zealand will be a formidable proposition in the America's Cup – but don't write off the chances of Luna Rossa.
That's the verdict of Ineos Team UK skipper Ben Ainslie, after bowing out of the regatta on Sunday, defeated 7-1 by the Italians in the Prada Cup final.
The Prada Cup is done and dusted so I'll fast forward to the question everyone is asking – are Luna Rossa good enough to beat Team New Zealand in the 36th America's Cup match race?
